Chapter 23: The Puzzle
"Xingchen, don't talk nonsense, how can a Maori brother be a murderer?" Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Maori heard Xingchen say that he was the murderer, and he also blew his beard and glared. I reasoned for a long time, and in the end, I was suspected by others of being the real murderer. Maori yelled for the stars to come up with evidence.
"Evidence is like water in a sponge, if you want it, there is a way!" Xingchen thought in his heart. But in front of Conan, Maori, and Twilight, he would never dare to say such a thing.
Xingchen calmly drank the coffee and milk in his hand before he said slowly: "According to the plot of ordinary detective novels, the person who is most unlikely to be the murderer is often the real murderer in the end! Among the four people who are visiting today, who is the most unlikely to be the real murderer? It is you, Uncle Maori!"
"At the time of the crime, I was alone in the living room, and I had no chance to get close to the single room where the deceased was, and both Xiaolan and Conan could testify about this!"
"This is exactly your cunning!" Xingchen suddenly said, "Sister Xiaolan is your daughter, and her testimony is not counted. Conan is even more of a child, and he can be fooled by a little trick. And this little devil eats and lives in your house, maybe he will wear a pair of pants with you!"
Xingchen satirizes Conan with a pun!
Although others think that Xingchen is messing around, what Xingchen said also has some truth.
A good detective is meant to doubt everything!
"So, what is the purpose of your coming here today?" Twilight asked Mori Kogoro in a kind tone, "Don't think about it, I'm just asking about it routinely." ā
"I'm here to report to the victim the incident he commissioned me to investigate, the investigation of his wife's affair. After saying this, Maori Kogoro, who realized that he had slipped his mouth, hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was too late.
"Idiot! The detective would tell the commission in front of people. Conan complained in his heart.
"Clever! Making things clear at this time will not only save you unnecessary trouble, but also divert the attention of others to the deceased's wife. The most important thing is that there is no need to adhere to professional ethics for the dead. Xingchen secretly admired, "It's not unreasonable for people to say that Kogoro is the boss behind the scenes, sometimes this guy is also wise and stupid!"
Just when several suspects were arguing with each other, Xingchen quietly walked up to Conan and whispered, "Detective, I already know who the real murderer is, do you want me to give you a hint?"
"Do you know who the murderer is? Why don't you hurry up and tell Officer Twilight the real murderer and catch the murderer early!" Conan grabbed Xingchen's shoulders excitedly and shook them back and forth.
"Calm down! The murderer and I don't have a blood feud, why should I expose him? Maybe I will get his revenge!" Xingchen glanced at the cabinet full of knife marks, intentionally or unintentionally.
Conan, who has a keen sense of observation, did not let go of this detail and immediately focused his attention on the cabinet.
At this time, Twilight asked the hostess of the house, "Madam, are there any valuables in this room?"
"I did keep the key to the vault in the cupboard. The lady went to the cupboard, opened one of the drawers, and exclaimed, "The key to the vault is gone!"
Before everyone could react, the wife opened another drawer, "Hey! I found it, it's in this drawer." ā
"But it's strange that my husband usually puts it there. The lady pushed the drawer up in a muttering voice.
At this time, almost everyone's attention was focused on the key to the vault in his wife's hand, except for Conan, who noticed something strange about the knife marks on the cabinet. The knife marks on the edges of some drawers have disappeared unnaturally.
Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly asked the maid here for a quick camera, and took a picture of Conan in front of the cabinet full of knife marks.
Of course, all this is seen by the stars.
"Conan, you're so interested, you're still in the mood to take pictures of the scenery at this time!, take a picture of me too!" Xingchen said to himself, posing with scissor hands, and showing a mouthful of white teeth.
Conan, who didn't want to make a fuss, could only swallow his anger and take a picture of Xingchen.
Xingchen took the photo and said narcissistically: "So-so, or I am more handsome!"
While Xingchen was admiring his beautiful photos, Conan stepped aside and took out a paper cutter to cut out the photos, and then began to play a jigsaw puzzle.
After a while, Conan saw the name he had expected.
Then, as usual, Conan uses a watch-type tranquilizer gun to stun Mori Kogoro (so evil!), and then tells the truth through Mori's mouth.
"I already know! The murderer who used clever tricks to deceive us is you......" Conan used the butterfly-shaped voice changer invented by Dr. Asasa to vividly imitate Kogoro's voice, "Kendo master, Yuji Suwa!"
"Hey, Kogoro, are you mistaken! The murderer deliberately left so many sword marks in the house to make us think that the deceased was killed during a kendo duel. After a series of failed reasoning, Twilight has completely distrusted Mori Kogoro, "And the deceased's posture of holding the sword is reversed, it is impossible for Mr. Suwa, who is good at kendo, to make such a mistake!"
"He did it to deceive us, and it was all in his plan, and most people would never have imagined that a murderer would blame him. Conan said clearly.
"But what about that carving?" asked, pointing to the only intact dragon-shaped carving in the room, "If Mr. Suwa is the murderer, then he shouldn't know that the carving is a collateral for Akutsu, so how can he frame Akutsu?"
"Didn't Mr. Akutsu already say that he had just said it! He said in a phone message, 'If you dare to sell that carving, I will definitely kill you!' Suwa should have been at the scene of the crime at the time, so he had the idea to blame Akutsu for this murder. "Conan, unlike Kogoro Maori, is not going to be overturned by others in a few words.
"In that case, there's a good chance that Dr. Hatano will commit the crime!" Twilight continued.
"Unlike Dr. Hatano, Mr. Suwa has already 'confessed' to the fact that he killed someone in a phone message. Conan said in a tricky way, "Dr. Hatano came here at five o'clock as agreed, but Mr. Suwa's appointment on the phone was six o'clock. How can anyone in the world come early knowing that the other party is not at home?"
"Hahaha! In vain, you still boast that you are the top spot in the detective world. Yuji Suwa argued: "I heard Mr. Fumaru say that he had an agreement with someone else at five o'clock, so I came here early!
"Hmph, I'm not suspicious of you, I'm sure you're the murderer!" Conan said with great certainty: "Because there is a conclusive evidence in this room that can directly prove that you are the murderer, the knife marks in the house are not to create the illusion of a fight, but to hide the knife marks on the cabinet!"
"Officer Twilight, please do what I'm going to say below to move the drawer on that 4x5 cabinet. Swap the top 1 column with the 2nd drawer on the left and the rightmost drawer in the same column. ā
Then count the top of the first row on the left to reverse the 2nd and 5th drawers. ā
Then swap the second and fourth drawers on the left side of column 2. ā
Then count the second drawer to the left of column 3 and swap it with the drawer on the far right of column 4. ā
"Finally, swap the second drawer on the left side of column 5 and the third drawer on the left side of column 4, and you're done!"
(The above is all to make up the number of words!Typing is also a good thing!)
When Twilight finished placing the last drawer, the Japanese word "Suwa" was impressively displayed in front of everyone.
At this point, the truth has been revealed!
But for the stars, the real victory and defeat has just begun!
